White, considered a three-star prospect by Rivals.com and a four-star by 247Sports, was named the MVP of the Elite 11 quarterback competition earlier this month despite being the only uncommitted prospect there. The 6-foot-2, 204-pounder also had offers from Boston College, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Syracuse, South Florida, Wake Forest, Houston, Hawaii, Florida International, Miami (Ohio), Western Kentucky and Western Michigan, and interest from Notre Dame and North Carolina had been picking up since his performance at the Elite 11, where he wowed the event's coach, former Super Bowl-winning quarterback Trent Dilfer.

"His accuracy is not just accurate, it's exact," Dilfer told 247Sports. "It's an NFL type of ball that he throws. He throws an artistic ball. He doesn't just throw a skinny post, he sends a message with the skinny post. It blows your mind, his passing proficiency."

White, who becomes the 10th commitment in Auburn's 2014 class, threw for 2,921 yards and 35 touchdowns last year at Hollywood (Fla.) Chaminade Madonna, before transferring to University School in Fort Lauderdale.

He did not reportedly have an offer from Auburn when he visited the Plains last weekend, but had been in close contact with Tigers offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee since earning his Elite 11 invitation. He told AL.com then that he enjoyed his visit and was hopeful of getting an offer.

"I really loved everything about it," White said. "First time I've been here, and I think what stood out was the family atmosphere. Everybody's close-knit."

According to 247Sports, Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn offered White on Tuesday morning and the quarterback accepted immediately.

"The offense and atmosphere in the SEC -- it's a dream school and a perfect place," White told 247Sports, adding that Lashlee played a "huge" role in his commitment.

The announcement comes two days before another quarterback targeted by Auburn, Bossier City (La.) Parkway's Brandon Harris, is set to announce his choice between LSU, Auburn and Ohio State.
